Diving Lips

Recommended Posts

I found a box of these lips in some vintage tying materials. I've only seen these on old flies, and I believe they are over 50 years old. They are made of tin and are perfect. I have a couple for sale. Item number: 251110204939 on Ebay right now.

First, anyone can get foam plugs with a hollow punch set from harborfreight.com. $7 for a set of 9.

Second, that plastic packaging you hate when you buy something and can't get into the package is perfect for diving lips. It is a hard clear plastic and usualy the back of a package is flat.

I actually use a circle punch from Michael's to cut out the lips. It is about the size of a dime. You just have to punch HARD.
